About this title:

Synopsis: Feast on the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, no matter where you live, with the ""Northwest Homegrown Cookbook Series."" Celebrated food writer and chef Cynthia Nims kicks off the series with a tribute to Northwest crab -- that sweet and tender meat craved by seafood lovers across the country.

This elegantly packaged cookbook includes delicious crab dishes for every course, from Crab Benedict to Chilled Tomato Soup with Crab, from Crab and Sesame Noodle Salad to Beer-Steamed Crab with Mustard Butter. And if you can't find Dungeness, snow, or king crab in your market, Nims offers great ideas for substitutions. Readers will also learn about the history of Northwest crabbing, differences among species, time-saving techniques, details on crab festivals, and where to find more information.

Watch for upcoming books in this great series as Nims celebrates the foods that the Northwest does best -- the specialties that have broken the boundaries of regional cooking. And in the meantime, think ""Crab""!

From the Author&colon;
This book launches my new Northwest Homegrown Cookbook Series in which I'll be shining the spotlight individually on some of the most distinctive foods of the Northwest. It's the culmination of years of enjoying these wonderful regional foods which I felt had yet to be fully celebrated in cookbook form. I began with crab (the book focuses heavily on the local Dungeness crab) because it is, to me, one of the most iconic and most delicious foods of the West Coast. I've developed 40 recipes from crab and chanterelle risotto for dinner to savory crab blintzes for breakfast, and also feature historic reflections on the development of the crab industry as well as practical information about crab, how to buy, store and prepare them. Look for upcoming titles, which include Stone Fruit (peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and cherries) and Wild Mushrooms. Please enjoy!
